Matt Smith to be Cloned in “Womb”

Variety reports that incoming Tardis resident Matt Smith is signed up for a new SF movie before starting work on Doctor Who.

Smith will star in Womb, a bleak futuristic drama written and directed by Benedek Fliegauf. Smith will play a dead man who’s wife – played by Eva Green – decides to bring him back to life by cloning.

I wonder if Smith was cast before or after he was announced as the 11th Doctor?

Hat tip to Behind the Sofa for pointing out that UK TV channel Five is to produce and screen a documentary about Dr Who.

The information was buried away in a Guardian interview with Five chief executive Dawn Airey. No information is given as to dates however it’s described as being a “fast turnaround” documentary that is “in the pipeline”.
